"Change is a constant for me in my current company, and that's the way I like it. And, I made that known when I started with the company that I have ambitious career goals, and that I was determined to reach them. My role does not look the same at all, and I am thankful for the growth opportunity that my current company has offered me. I was a junior-level operator when I started 8 years ago. Today, I am responsible for leading a team of 8 operators. I am awarded new responsibilities regularly and have earned the trust they've given me. It seems I am almost always training new employees, hosting lunch and learns, and occasionally writing or revising policy. This pace of growth complements me well. But I am now interested in steering my career in a direction different from what my current company can facilitate and am excited to explore further the variety of career and developmental opportunities Teck Resources has to offer."
